With Grazr I created a reading list @ http://www.grazr.com/read/fzelders/Free_EBooks
ReplyNIsha Verma August 7th, 2008
all that is just googled and never seems to be verified by u…
Bcos most of the good books’ links are missing / reported spam at various file hosting websites like Rapidshare / FRee file storage etc. and hence are no longer available.
SO next time do include updated websites instead of just doing search on S Engines like Yahoo and google.
All of the people have just wasted their time in thanking u above bcos they don’t know the reality perhaps..

Wow. If you’re trying to promote reading, please at least make your promotion readable. I think what you meant was “We understand that reading is the simplest way to derive and construct meaning from a source.”
ReplyKay August 8th, 2008
@NIsha Verma, google is just one of our methods for researching. We did verify all these sites and filter many from our research.
